| | While the election results and the ensuing regional support of nearby countries bodes well for Slovakia's foreign relations, Meciar's absence from the inauguration ceremony signals a bitterness about the outcome of the elections and a refusal to bury the hatchet. | | | In the past, the President has met with foreign dignitaries and approved various appointments and legislation. | | | Although the President's powers are largely ceremonial, the legitimacy derived from direct elections will most likely increase the power and prestige of the office. |
